This isn't exactly of any use or importance for me, I'm just curious. I've looked (but not much) on AMDs pages but they aren't all that good at comparing "old" technology with "new". Same goes for many other tests, in one of the computer magazines I read regulary one person had sent a complaint about this since he wondered if a 30% increase in 3D performence was all was going to get for 250-300USD more money. He (as well as the magazine) forgot to mention that new tests are done on faster CPUs thereby making new 3D cards look even better. //Bernie
